Throughout the whole evening, Jenna felt like she was seventeen again as she danced all night, never leaving the dance floor for even a second. She was starting to love the Weird Sisters' songs.

For some while back then, Fred had disappeared from the Great Hall, but when he returned, he walked to the dance floor with Lexi Hooper, meanwhile Angelina joined Jenna and George, along with Katie and Alicia and Lee Jordan.

Although the people around suddenly fell quiet when they heard Ron and Hermione shouting from where they sat on either side of Harry, having a rough spat.

Jenna didn't fully understand what the fight was about, but she suddenly saw Hermione get to her feet furiously, her face turning red before from anger before she stormed away.

Jenna watched Hermione leave with concern, but the moment she turned to follow after her, she was stopped as George held onto her arm.

"Where are you going, Anna? This song is awesome!" he said through the loud sound of music.

"I was just —" Jenna was trying to say, but she was cut off when Lee and Angelina walked toward them, cutting her off.

"You know, you're really different from what I pictured you to be, Anna," said Lee, grinning.

"Yeah." Angelina nodded in agreement. "I didn't expect you to be so — I mean — I thought you were —"

"A bitch?" Jenna completed her, making them all snort in laughter.

Jenna smiled as they switched partners so George could dance with Angelina, and Jenna started dancing with Lee to the next song. But then her eyes widened as she caught sight of a scene from afar. Jenna blinked a few times at what she was seeing, in case it was just a hallucination.

"I know I haven't had a drink or anything tonight, but am I just imagining things or is this really happening?" Jenna said in a hollow voice, looking behind Lee at the dance floor.

"What?" Lee raised a brow before glancing behind his shoulder, suddenly snorting at the scene they saw.

Professor Dumbledore was dancing with Professor Sprout, and a blond man with Professor McGonagall; Madame Maxime and Hagrid were cutting a wide path around the dance floor as they waltzed through the students.

"This could possibly be one of the best nights of my life." Jenna laughed to herself.

First a boy's head had turned into a pumpkin just a few minutes ago, and now her old teachers were all dancing together to the Weirs Sisters' songs. It couldn't possibly get any better than this.

Although Jenna's eyes suddenly widened when she recognized who the blond man dancing with Professor McGonagall was.

"Merlin's balls!" Jenna gasped, gaping at the man. "That's Ludo Bagman!"

Lee sniggered. "Yeah, so?"

"What!? What do you mean so!" Jenna retorted, as if personally offended. "He's a professional Quidditch player! He'a a great Beater!"

"Oh, is he?" Lee shrugged. "I mean, maybe you used to be... dunno. But there's no way he could be as good as Lucas Bargeworthy, or even Edric Vosper! They're freaking awesome!"

Jenna stared back at him, deciding to let the matter go. Being twelve years away from the Wizarding World had led her to lose track of Quidditch and she had no idea who these new players were.

When the next song ended, everybody applauded once more, and Jenna sneered when she saw Ludo Bagman kiss Professor McGonagall's hand and make his way back through the crowds, at which point Fred and George accosted him, for some reason looking extremely grim.
